17. Use a cartridge type caulking gun to apply a smooth, continuous bead of urethane adhesive.
18. When using the short method, apply the urethane adhesive to the existing bead of urethane adhesive on the body.
19. When using the extended method, use the edge of the stationary window or the inside edge of the reveal molding as a guide for the nozzle in order
to apply the (2) urethane adhesive to the inner surface of the (3) stationary window.
20. Use suction cups and, with the aid of an assistant, install the stationary window into the opening.
21. Align the tape on the stationary window and the body.
22. Press the stationary window firmly into place.
23. Tape the stationary window to the body in order to minimize movement.
1. Clean any excess urethane adhesive from the body.
2. Use a soft spray in order to water test the stationary window immediately.
3. Using warm water is preferred in order to accelerate the cure of adhesive.
4. Do not direct a hard stream of high pressure water at fresh urethane adhesive.
24. Inspect the stationary window for leaks.
25. If any leaks are found, use a plastic paddle in order to apply extra urethane at the leak point.
26. Retest stationary window for leaks.
caution: Repair Material Curing Caution in Service Precautions.
27. The following conditions must be maintained to properly cure the urethane.
1. Allow the vehicle to remain at room temperature (21°C or 70°F) at 30 percent relative humidity.
2. Allow a minimum of 6 hours for the moisture curing urethane adhesive.
3. Allow a minimum of 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours for the chemical curing urethane adhesive.
4. Partially lower a door window in order to prevent pressure buildups when closing doors before the urethane adhesive cures.
5. Do not drive the vehicle until the urethane adhesive is fully cured.
6. Do not use compressed air in order to dry the urethane adhesive.
